📡 AI, Fake News, Propaganda, and Political Manipulation
About Course
A convincing video, a familiar voice or a story shared by hundreds of accounts can feel like strong evidence. Yet appearances and popularity do not tell us whether a claim is true, where it came from or why it reached us.
This course helps you make sense of information in an age of AI generated content. Through practical examples and documented cases, you will learn to examine political messages, spot when apparent support may be manufactured and distinguish an attempt to influence people from evidence that it succeeded.
You will leave with a clearer way to assess what you see online: identify the exact claim, trace it to its source, test the supporting evidence and recognise when the facts remain uncertain. The course is for anyone who wants to follow public debate with confidence and share information more responsibly.
